School Shield

Multi-Zone Archways

School Shield are the sole UK Education-sector distributor of the leading American knife-arch weapons detection system - currently used across the United States by a wide range of academic institutions as well as the US Military.

Available in 2 zone detection, 6 zone detection, and 12 zone detection.

Excellent discrimination, with low unwanted alarm rate, that eliminates the need to empty pockets of normal amount of keys, coins, etc.

Transmitter and receiver sensor elements positioned in both side panels and that scan both sides of the person being screened.

Status display with red LMAP for alarm condition, green for all ready, and yellow for wait, and 12 segment bar graph display showing magnitude of detection signal.

Excellent immunity to electrical interference inhibits false alarms due to x-ray screening equipment, fluorescent lighting, computer monitors, or other common sources of electrical interference.

Fully adjustable floor sensitivity control that compensates for detection losses, caused by metal in a support floor. Permits uniform detection to be achieved throughout the detector even when large amounts of re-bar are present.


Utilises a processor-based continuous wave multiple sensor method with self-testing diagnostics and high stability digital signal processing.

Every detecting area is 100 sensitivity: with the range of 0-99, it can be automatically adjusted.

The gate is protected with password, only empowered persons are permitted to operate it.

Adopts digital, analogy and left and right balanced technology, which greatly enhance the capability of anti-interference.

Contains detection circuitry that remains permanently active and cannot be switched or programmed to a non-continuously active state.

Standard Operating temperature: -30 to 70 degrees Celsius. To 95% non-condensing humidity.

Power: AC power inlet points on left and right side panels. Top entry can be arranged if notified on placement of order. Universal power supply operates on input voltages or 100 to 250VAC and over a frequency range of 47 to 63 Hz. UOL, CE, CSA and TUV rated power supply.

Handheld Scanner

Fully adjustable sensitivity control enables optimal performance on weapon screening and loss prevention applications.

Optimal detection of all ferrous, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, carbon weapons and other contraband objects.

Lightweight comfortable grip with 360 degree detection area.

Large scanning area and fast scan rate reduce operator fatigue.

Automatic tuning ensures equal results on a wide range of metals.

Silent vibration alarm mode/red LED mode.

Sealed waterproof construction for extreme environments.

Hand-stitched leather holster with belt clip.


De-sense button and tightly controlled detection pattern allows efficient weapons screening near floors containing re-bar.

New high volume audio alert can easily be heard against normal to moderate levels of background noise.

Robust and high impact case with rubber moulded grip sides.

Electronics: The advanced automatic tuning transmit/receive circuitry is housed in a rugged high impact ABS plastic case and detects all metals and alloys. The units de-sensitivity feature and tight detection pattern help reduce false alarms when screening at ankle height in the vicinity of floors with re-bar. Sensitivity adjustments are made through a screwdriver access hole in the casing, thus reducing the potential for tampering or inadvertent adjustment.

Operating temperature: -40 to 70 degrees Celcius.

Weight: 400g.

Dimensions: Length: 16in (406mm), Width: 3 1/16in (78mm), Height: 1 3/8in (35mm)

Power Requirement: Unit requires standard 9V disposable Alkaline battery or optional NiCad.
